    I think you should cut into that Art Gallery fabric. I especially like the bundle on the right.

    Definitely the first one - love the turquoise and orange! Can't wait to see what you pick.

  4. SaskaJanuary 9, 2012 at 9:03 AM

    I like the turquoise (looks red on my screen). Gotta be something bright.

    Choice #1 really speaks to me this morning! Can't wait to see what you pick.

  7. DianeYJanuary 9, 2012 at 9:11 AM

    I'd personally choose the 1st one, but I'm sure they'd all be terrific!

  8. beepsJanuary 9, 2012 at 9:16 AM

    I'd go with 1 or 3 but 2 could be cool with some fussy cuts!

  9. JessicaJanuary 9, 2012 at 9:22 AM

    Prince Charming, obviously.

    I like the first set best :-)

  11. CeciliaJanuary 9, 2012 at 9:48 AM

    I would choose 3. I just finished a pineapple quilt using different Art Gallery fabrics and it turned out great.

  12. Amber H.January 9, 2012 at 9:54 AM

    First bundle, hands down. I don't know what the pattern looks like, but I think it'll be best.

  13. PunkiePie (Jen)January 9, 2012 at 10:03 AM

    Let's have some fun with it and go with Cat in the Hat! If not, my second pick is choice #1. I will be picking up these templates and making an iPad cover. I have 2 iPads (one personal/one work) and the work one is just hanging out, free. Needs a little protection. :)

    ReplyDelete
  14. ChristyJanuary 9, 2012 at 10:15 AM

    The first one. I love the last one too, but they look so pretty together so they should be in a quilt.

    ReplyDelete
  15. KathyJanuary 9, 2012 at 10:42 AM

    Cat in the Hat! I think that fabric would be best used on smaller projects.

    Choice 1...its you!

  17. Jill ChapmanJanuary 9, 2012 at 10:58 AM

    Choice #1 gets my vote.

    I'm obsessed with Art Gallery fabrics, so they get my vote.

  25. DebJanuary 9, 2012 at 12:32 PM

    Choice #1....I love the red! But I noticed another commenter called it orange...so maybe my computer screen isn't showing the correct colors.

  26. Nana JoJanuary 9, 2012 at 12:33 PM

    I vote for #1!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Mrs. MonkeyboyJanuary 9, 2012 at 12:38 PM

    Totally choice #1!

    #1 for sure! I'm NOT a Dr. Seuss fan...even though I'm a teacher.

  33. DoloresJanuary 9, 2012 at 1:50 PM

    I love No. 1 Combo but the Art Gallery collection has got some great prints too. Cat in the Hat would make me feel like I'm using my kids stuff.

  36. JennJanuary 9, 2012 at 2:39 PM

    #1 for sure, unless you want to stare at Cat in the Hat every time you use your tablet.

  37. Marcia W.January 9, 2012 at 2:43 PM

    choice one

    ReplyDelete
  38. heartsease54January 9, 2012 at 2:53 PM

    Number 1 just screams Julie to me, maybe number 2 for your niece and some robot fabric for Elijah. I think the Cat in the Hat looks like it would like to live with your brother!

  39. goeckerJanuary 9, 2012 at 2:57 PM

    I really like #1 as a favorite for this project....

    Group #1 without a doubt.

  41. RosaJanuary 9, 2012 at 3:20 PM

    Choice 1,love them together.Happy sewing!

  42. JoAnnGCJanuary 9, 2012 at 3:28 PM

    Julie, if I have to pick just one my vote goes to Choice #1. It's modern, bright and my favorite color combination (right now, anyway). I love anything Cat in the Hat but it's not really an original choice. The Art Gallery fabrics are nice but they just don't call out to me as much. Whatever you go with, I can't wait to see it! ~JoAnn

  43. MaureenJanuary 9, 2012 at 3:30 PM

  49. CaroJanuary 9, 2012 at 5:47 PM

    I think you should use the Art Gallery fabrics. I think they are more diverse.

    Tough one! As much as I love Tula and Lizzie, those Art Gallery fabrics are soooo pretty!

  54. AmyJanuary 9, 2012 at 8:19 PM

    My pick would be #1 since it is for a tablet keeper. Just feels right for the project. I think I'd hang on to the fat quarter bundles for a bigger project.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Mouster1January 9, 2012 at 8:23 PM

    I like Choice number one. The colors are great. Anyone you pick will make a nice tablet keeper. Looking forward to seeing your finished piece.
